Food Inc. Documentary!

World's First Cookbook!

DERECOQUINARIA9788484282860.JPG220px-Apicius1709fr.jpg
Recording has recipe has been a tradition since the beginning of time, and when I say beginning if time, I mean back when they spoke Latin. Just look!
Romans were notorious for their meticulous record keeping, which is evident throughout history. Cooking was no less of an achievment, as they were the first to establish a coherent collection of traditional recipes, compiled in 1483.
This is only one artifact of ancient cookbooks that have been collected throughout history, and multiple others have been collected from Arabic, South American, and Asian cuisine.
